Emotional Patterns

Your emotional patterns can be as damaging to your overall welfare as your mindset.

Your mindset together with your emotional patterns are your creative tools.

These together create the necessary outlines for future possessions, events and circumstances.

These CREATIVE TOOLS work in your life whether you intend them to or not.

It is far more difficult to discover your deep-seated emotional attitudes, either conscious or subconscious, than to recognize your mental conditioning.

People can be possessed by negative emotional patterns and be quite unaware of them, since they are covered by the moment-to-moment emotions arising from the daily routine.

To discover what your emotional patterns really are, ask yourself questions along the following lines, and be totally honest with yourself. To try to hide from the truth of your emotional patterns is merely to deceive yourself and hold yourself back from achieving the joyous state of existence you were intended to enjoy.

How do you really feel about LIFE? I want you to write yourself a warmly compassionate letter, telling yourself exactly how you feel as you answer the following questions:

• Are you happy to be alive or would you prefer to be able to cease to live? If your truthful answer is the latter, then you have a negative attitude towards existence and are at war within yourself at a deep level. You know, consciously, that you have to continue your daily life but at your deepest level you would like to quit. The interior war prevents you from attracting all that you could be experiencing with a positive emotional pattern.

• How do you really feel about your relatives? Is there any buried hostility which you do not want to admit or that you did not realise existed?

• How do you feel about your employment, colleagues, entertainment, other races, etc.

Write down all your discoveries about yourself and lock it away in a safe place.

This work you have done for yourself is for yourself – only for your benefit. You have not done it to make you a better person, or to please ‘God’ or to win approval from other people. You have done this work to remove existing inner blocks to your spiritual development and ultimate happiness.
